Week 3 of being sick

So this has been the worst beginning of a new year ever in my memory. Arya had high fever from 01/16 through 01/21. The week ended with fever gone and the onset of a nasty cold. She was feeling well enough to go back to school though. One of her teachers commented on how much weight she had lost. When you are only 34 pounds, losing 3-4 lbs is a lot of weight, her clothes and even her diapers were lose. But we thought that she will get past the cold and hopefully this is it for at least another month or so. But Sunday night 01/29 her fever was back.

So no school on Monday, but her fever did go down and kept lurking around 100 degrees for Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday - she still couldnt go to school because she has to be fever free for 24 hours before I can send her back. I was able to get Jessica to come baby sit for a few hours so that I could get some work done. Before Jessica put Arya down for her nap, Arya fever was up again to 101.6 and after that her fever stayed between 102 and 103.7 up until this morning.

Yesterday her it was about 11 hours before her fever came back, but it was back at 102.7 Now we wait and see how she does today. If her fever is not gone by tomorrow, we will be back in the Doctor's office on Monday - that would make it 5 trips to the doctor in less than 3 weeks.

I hope this fever ends soon and Arya bounces back to being healthy again and puts her weight back. I cannot imagine how painful this must be for her.
